John, that was our first ride of the season last year. Yep, things do change in a hurry around here, much like this April 7, 2007 pic. April 1st, I was finishing raking the lawn & picking up branches & twigs. Apr 3rd through the 6th-BAM! I just want things to hurry up and change, my patience is...
I think it's time for the first shout for the 2011-2012 season, and there really is a darn good reason. First, I have a birthday wish for this weather to change over & on a seasonally permanent basis, that being from now until April. Second, we started out looking like we were going to stay...
No Words are necessary....view the first 4 frames in a slide show fashion, just like being there! The last frame, well, we still don't know to this day what he was thinking!?! Good Times!:D-Mezz
Woke up this morning to an additional 6" of fresh white. I measured 3" yesterday, lets hope the trend continues through the season. "Heere Bleezard Bleezard!!!" -Mezz
Meester Bleezard? Is that you? It's been a long time there buddy! Where the heck have you been? I hope you are well rested after your lack luster performances over the past 2 winters. I see you brought Uncle LES & Cousin Squally, good man! Do your thing & don't be a stranger!:D-Mezz
Nick Baumgardner of Iron River, MI finally got his Gold in the Snowboard X! What a finish!!! The guy had just had surgery on his collar bone 12 day's ago which included a plate & 15 screws. Congrats!!
Also, I believe to be more than noteworthy, I'm not sure why there isn't any publicity on this...
Ok, I am now down to begging for this weather to change & soon! I am getting really bummed & really ready to go postal on the next person that comments on how "nice this weather is". Not really, but darn near... :eek:As futile as this may be considering the present weather outlook, I am going to...
A little vindication for John on his initial instinct for a Northern track on this pending system, OOOO-RA! Finally! Perhaps we can coax this thing a little further North with another Good Ole "Heere Bleezard Bleezard!" The NWS Mqt has issued a "Winter Storm Watch" for Saturday through Sunday...
I am not a BIG believer in weather lore, but it is fun to toy with when you are in high hopes of a Winter of Plenty. There are a number of local lore about what one might observe as an indication as to what the coming winter might be like, such as the amount of acorns on the oaks, amount of...
Well, this really comes as no suprise, but, again, found it interesting. This web survey was conducted by AmSnow & is as follows:
1). Western Upper Peninsula, MI:D
2). Eagle River / St. Germain, WI
3). Valcourt, Que
4). Tug Hill, N.Y.
5). Old Forge, N.Y.
6). Revelstoke, B.C.
7). The County...
I had some property inspections to do in Twin Lakes yesterday, & in my travels I shot a couple of pic's. Even though the temps rose into the
90's,:mad: this sight was a brief refreshing thought:cool:, except the one of the thermometer in the truck:(. The changes are beginning, thank goodness, I...
Well, for the first time in quite some time, the NWS Mqt has issued a Winter Storm Watch. I certainly hope that something comes out of it here in the Northwoods, we sure could use it. We have a great base, just need some thick frosting on the cake! Heere Bleezard Bleezard!-Mezz
Just learned late this evening that our fellow JD'r, m8man, has been admitted to the hospital & it sounds like he will be down for a bit. I will leave the details to him if so wishes to divulge at a later time, nonetheless, I will say this, it was not sled related. Hopefully he won't be in there...
With a number of large storms entering the West Coast, it's time to awaken Meester Bleezard. We have been in a snow drought here for too long & we are over due for a MAJOR refreshening of our snow cover. Hopefully in time enough for the JD Ride In for the Make A Wish Foundation. So the call is...
After dealing with rain a little over a month ago, then some continous snow, I didn't think I would be able to pull this off again this year, but I was able to. The tough thing about doing the ice rink the old fashion way is all the site prep, packing the base & leveling the best you can then...
I've driven by this thing sooo many times & have wanted to get a picture of this & alway's forgot the camera, well, I still forgot it, but, my daughter had hers. Here it is,,,,
Well, I guess I will have to re-try again. See next post-Mezz
